My adventures in Quilting and Gardening

Back to Rings

I am working on another hand piecing project today. I have a lot of hand quilting to do but I needed to take a break from that because I can’t comfortably quilt without leaning forward and that hurts. I had surgery yesterday to remove my gallbladder….I have had ongoing problems for the last year and they finally did it! I am looking forward to feeling healthy again. Anyway while I am recovering it is much easier to hand piece than it is to hand quilt.

My thoughts are with you on this gallbladder thing. Hope you are beginning to feel better fast. I know exactly what it is all about. (Quite a bit ago and I do not miss it.) Energy will take a little while to increase. This is a big deal to your body. You have your quilt projects to review when you are awake in the middle of the night.
And of course there is always the computer.

Tim, I look forward to seeing your blog in my emails…because I like your quilts (old and new), your florals, the way you write, and your pup. To you are a very nice person. Be well….let yourself heal…don’t rush things. 😀 P.S. got to see the “WHITE TREE” quilt in Lancaster…even better in real life.

Hope you have a speedy recovery! Take it easy and let yourself heal. I am always learning something new from your blog!…vintage quilt/block repair, quilt design, handquilting, etc. You read my mind when you wrote about why we handquilt. Well said!

I think every one above has said what I want to say. I am glad you are on the mend. The weather outside doesn’t tempt you to get out now. Winter is just not giving up easily. Enjoy that piecing and Teddy. He looks like a true pal.

Hope you recover more quickly than am going to. Had rotator cuff surgery on my right (dominant) arm and can not do any type of stitching. It’s been four weeks and I’m going crazy not being able to pick up a needle & thread. At least I can browse the internet and read & write quilt blogs.
